In the unlikely event that you haven't already discovered this on the Internet: the Condo Fucks are not the "legendary New London, CT trio" they're described as on Matador's Web site. They're the legendary Hoboken, NJ trio Yo La Tengo, and Fuckbook is their all-covers follow-up to 1990's Fakebook, on which the record-collecting indie-rockers paid tender tribute to influences like Daniel Johnston, NRBQ, and the Holy Modal Rounders.

Per its title, Fuckbook is much gnarlier than the earlier effort; the extra-fuzzy sound here is more or less what you'd get if you recorded a YLT show over your iPhone. The playlist includes tunes by such Trouser Press faves as the Small Faces ("Whatcha Gonna Do About It"), Richard Hell ("The Kid with the Replaceable Head"), and Slade ("Gudbuy T'Jane").

But beyond a scrappy/winsome take on the Beach Boys' "Shut Down," there's not much to distinguish one track from another. It's all shits-and-giggles, all the time.

Take it to the Bridge Report to Machines with Magnets and revel in the loudness on FRIDAY (the 9th) with San Fran's OXBOW (their only New England appearance), as well as local guests TINSEL TEETH and WHORE PAINT.

Yo La Tengo | Fade Fade starts with James McNew and Ira Kaplan harmonizing on the line "sometimes the good things fade."

Do over I tried hard to be born earlier, but it didn't work. As a result, I've had to contend with an irritatingly positioned cultural blind spot (roughly 1976–1986) that currently occupies all that open space once filled with childhood memories.

Yo La Tengo As silly as the title sounds, it’s an accurate reflection of the we’re-not-afraid-to-take-on-anything attitude that’s propelled Yo La through the past dozen years. Yo La Tengo, “Pass the Hatchet, I Think I’m Goodkind”

DEVO | SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY | July 01, 2010 Given the theory of de-evolution these Ohio brainiacs began expounding more than 30 years ago, it makes a sad kind of sense that Devo's first album since 1990's Smooth Noodle Maps offers such a charmless, base-level version of the band's synth-addled new wave.
